STAND AND TANK FOR VAPOR-STOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,391, dated December 19, 188.?,

Application filed September 29, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN F. DANrELs, a resident ofthe city of Decatur, county of Macon, and State ot' Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor- Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to tanks77 and stands7 for vapor-stoves; and it consists in a stand T- shaped in ground plan and provided with receptacles for various articles. The body or Ipart corresponding to the top bar of a T is provided with a shallow sink over its entire surface, and with a series of depressions under the burners. The part of the stand corresponding with the leg or upright of a T is covered with and acts as a support for a folding leaf, and both the body and leg are provided with suitable doors` and drawers. Attached to the body of the stand is a back board provided with a box for the Huid-tank, said box having an automatically-closing lid and a convex bottom.

In the drawings accompanying and forming al part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my device. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the oil or Huid tank contained in the box to the rear of the back board, c, of the stand; and Fig. 3 is a section of said box.

a is the tank. c is the back board. s is the back, k the ends, o 0 the bottom, and b the lid, ofthe box that contains the fluid-tank. in m is the T-shaped stand, provided with receptacles, as indicated. e is the shallow sink, provided with depressions g g g, which indicate the position of the burners on pipe d. fffis the ledge that forms the sink e, above mentioned. h is a table-extension provided with folding leaf t. t is the hollow screw in tank a, provided with holes u u', that admit air and permit the fluid to escape. U U are shoulders on tank a, that close holes u u when screw t is turned down suticiently to bring said holes in contact with said shoulders.

The lid b is provided with spring p, that holds said lid tightly closed. Bottom o o of the box containing the oil-tank is inclined, as shown in Fig. 3,and made to tit tightly around pipe d to prevent the fluid from running down the supply-pipe should the tank overiow while being` lled. The depressions g g g are located under the burners, and receive and hold all droppings therefrom. In case'of a serious leak in the burners the ledge f ff will prevent the fluid from spreading.

Leaf t' may be used as a table, there being suflicient room to seat a person in the angles of the stand; or said leaf may he folded to economize space and permit free access to the drawers in front.

'Ilieentire device may be madeon the knockdown7 principle, so that it may be taken apart and packed for shipping.

A grate provided with suitable legs will be set over each burner to support the articles to be heated.

Any numberof burners from one to four may be used, and the device made to conform thereto.

Lid b is made to lit close to the box, and in case of an accident while llling the tank will immediately swing shut and smother the lire.

The stand and box maybe made of any lireproof material, land may be variously ornamented.

I claim- 1. Box s o o L k, located in the rear of back board, c, provided with lid b, that closes-automatically, and inclined bottom o o, that prevents the iluid from running down the supplypipe, as shown and described.

2. The combination, in a stand and tank for vapor-burners, of T-shaped stand m m, provided with receptacles, sink e, table h i, and tank-box s 0 k I, as and for the purpose set forth.

3. The combination, with stand m m and tank-box s o k b, of folding leaf i, forming a table when extended, and permitting free access to the receptacles in the frontof the stand when folded, as shown and described.

4. The combination, in a stand and tank for vapor-stoves, of Vstand m m, table h t', sink e, elongated tank a, provided with hollow screw t, and box s o o k It, with its lid b on back board, c, all as shown and described.
